1) Isn’t "Multiple Centres" an oxymoron ? I saw this on the back of a bus advertising NIIT.
2) Last month I read a report about the lowering of HIV incidence if circumcised; this research was published by Dr Kevin De Cock who is currently a Director at WHO. I mean how did he ever get through the early years at school ?!
3) Isn’t it weird that we get Financial ratings and reports from a company called Standard & Poor and another called Moody’s !
4) 2 days back on the front page of the local rag - Deccan Chronicle [ toilet paper posing as a newspaper ] they carried an article about 55 jawans killed by naxals somewhere in Chattisgarh who were drunken and snoozing. Meanwhile, front page news is about cricket pak Coach Wollmer’s death and a pic of Yuvraj singh goofing about with a tennis ball.
In some countries, 55 people killed would be a National Tragedy. [ 37 killed in London Bomb blasts, Tony Blair acted like it was the end of the world ].
5) In December last year our idiot CM opposed the placement of the stautory warning of a skull and cross bones on beedie packs, as he thought they would hurt public sentiment. The tobacco lobby is very powerful in India [ 2nd largest producer in the world ] and particularly Andhra, which accounts for more than 80% of total production when clubbed with Karnataka & Gujarat.
The CM of AP refused to place the Statutory warning of skull and cross bones on Beedie packs. Speaking of which, you absolutely Must watch this brilliant and hilarious movie called Thank You For Smoking.
6) Now how do you explain Various B school bozos from Univ of Texas & Virginia coming to meet thief and village bumkin Lalu Prasad Yadav. And back home IIM-A inviting him to lecture.
I mean he has more criminal and corruption cases against him than he has white hair on his head. And he is now being credited with turning around the Indian Railways, [ while his relatives are detained for travel without a valid ticket ].
It’s a well known fact that anyone with half a brain and the support of a bunch of hyper intelligent IAS officers can achieve wonders in this country. This goon has actually set-back Bihar by a 100 years. And it is so true that Public memory is very short, but shameful that educational institues should use him for a role model when there are so many others who are far more accomplished and genuine.
Times are really weird when villians become our heroes and this country cannot wake up and open its eyes to the truth.

Interesting...especially 1, 2 & 3. As for 4, hey, you should read some of the Australian newspapers. They make the Deccan Chronicle look extremely intelligent.
Hey Kevin,
I really appreciate your effort and strongly feel that a serious thought needs to be given to each and every topic; not just from a point of view of individual topics but also from a concern of where our nation is going… to dogs.
In our day-to-day chores, we do realize these points but tend to overlook the seriousness of these issues. Your effort in this direction is indeed welcomed. Keep it up.
